turn off heat and add peanut butter. Mix well! Immediately
fold in the cornflakes. Then, scoop heaping tablespoons of the
peanut butter clusters onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Allow to cool

can also half this recipe for a smaller amount.

350 degrees. This cake is very moist and will keep very good.

                             Sadie's Tidbits:  Barbara shares with us that this recipe originated
                                                                      during WWII. She also says that it doesn't really need
                                                                      icing but if you must have icing, store bought brands
                                                                      or homemade icing will do.

Moonshine (not for dieters!)
Ellie Prince

                             2 oz. butter            6 thin slices white bread (crusts removed)
                             2 oz. sultanas         2 oz. sugar
                             3/4 pint milk          1/4 pint single cream
                             3 eggs, beaten       Grated rind of half a lemon
                             ground nutmeg

Set oven to 350 degrees. Use a little of the butter to grease a shallow
ovenproof dish, and then use the rest to butter the bread generously.
Cut the bread into strips and arrange in the dish, buttered side up,
in layers sprinkled with sultanas and sugar, finishing with a layer of
buttered bread. Heat the milk and cream to just below boiling point and
stir into the eggs; add the lemon rind. Pour over the bread, sprinkle
with nutmeg and leave to stand for 20 minutes. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes
until the custard is set and the top crisp and golden.

Graham Cracker Treats

1 package of graham crackers
Crunchy peanut butter
Milk chocolate chips or baking chocolate
1 teaspoon Crisco solid

First, break the graham crackers into four on the perforated
lines provided. Carefully, do this so as to make sure they
break evenly. Then, spread the crunchy peanut butter on top of
one graham cracker square and cover with another graham
cracker square. Set aside on a cookie sheet covered with waxed
paper. Do this for remaining graham cracker squares. Then, take the
chocolate and melt it with the teaspoon Crisco in the microwave
in a microwavable bowl. About one bag of chocolate chips
or 8 squares of baking chocolate should be sufficient.
Can melt more or less if you desire. Microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes
then stir. Continue this process until completely melted, stirring
after each time you stop. When chocolate is melted, take one graham
cracker sandwich and coat with the melted chocolate then place
back onto the waxed paper to cool. Do this with all the graham cracker
sandwiches. You can melt more chocolate if needed.
To help the treats set faster, you can place into the refrigerator.
After set, enjoy!!
